MRS. SUSAN SHABANG
Deputy Minister Safety and Security
South Africa
Dear Friend,
After due deliberation with my children, I decided to contact you for your
assistance in standing as a beneficiary to the sum of US$3.5M ( Three
Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only) First, let me
start by introducing myself, I am MRS SUSAN SHABANGU, a mother of three
children and the Deputy Minister Safety and Security since 1st April 1996 to
date under the President of South Africa MR THABO MBEKI. You can view my
profile at my website
http://www.gov.za/gol/gcis_profile.jsp?id=1066
After the swearing in ceremony making me Deputy Minister Safety and Security
, my husband Mr Ndelebe Shabangu died while he was on an official trip to
Trinidad and Tobago in 2002. After his death, I discovered that he had some
funds in a dollar account which mounted to the sum of US$3.5M with FINANCE
SECURITY HOUSE .
This fund emanated as a result of an over-invoiced contract which he
executed with the Government of South Africa. Though I assisted him in
getting this contract but I never knew that it was over-invoiced by him. I
am afraid that the government of South Africa might start to investigate on
contracts awarded from 1998 to date. If they discover this money in his
bank account, they will confiscate it and seize his assets here in South
Africa and this will definetely affect my political career in government.
I want your assistance in clearing this money from FINANCE SECURITY HOUSE.
As soon as the fund is cleared, you are expected to move it immediately into
another personal bank account in your country. I will see to it that the
account is not traced from South Africa. As soon as you have confirmed the
fund into your account, I will send my eldest son with my Attorney to come
to your country to discuss on business investments.
For your assistance, I am offering you (Seven Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars Only) However, you have to assure me and also be ready to go into
agreement with me that you will not elope with my fund.If you agree to my
terms, kindly as a matter of urgency send me an email. Due to my sensitive
position in the South African Government,
I would not WANT you to call me on phone or send a fax to me. All
correspondence must be by email to my private email.If you want to speak
with my Attorney, that is fine and okay by me. His chambers will be
representing my interest with you. All correspondence must be made either to
my Attorney Barrister oki nzeagali of oki chambers.I will also like you to
give me your contact address, telephone and fax and email to enable my
Attorney call or reach you from time to time.
YOUR FULL NAME,ADDRESS, TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER IS HIGHLY NEEDED.
Please I do not need to remind you of the need for absolute Confidentiality
if this transaction must succeed. YOU MUST NOT CALL ME! If you do not feel
comfortable with this transaction, do not hesitate to discontinue.
Thanks for your anticipated co-operation and my regards to your family.
Yours faithfully,
MRS. SUSAN SHABANGU
Deputy Minister Safety and Security
South Africa
